Outlook: Colts, led by Harbaugh, overcame a 21-point deficit to beat Jets at Meadowlands last season. New York's defense hasn't changed measurably since, and pass rush might be less effective with DT Erik Howard out for season and DE Marvin Washington hurt. Jets' defensive front isn't very big and can be pushed around. If that happens, Marshall Faulk could have breakout game.

Outlook: This is an old AFL rivalry, but some of heat might have gone out of it for Oakland. That's because Chiefs have some ex-Raiders -- Marcus Allen and Art Shell -- who believe they were wronged by Al Davis, and Oakland can't win at Arrowhead Stadium. Raiders QB Jeff Hostetler, who missed last week's game with a knee injury, might start this week.

By the numbers: Raiders haven't beaten Chiefs in K.C. since 1988 and have lost past six meetings overall. . . . Chiefs defense has held 14 of past 17 opponents to two TDs or fewer.

Outlook: Seahawks swept Broncos last season, including game in which they scored 21 fourth-quarter points to rally for victory. Seattle likely to pound ball with RB Chris Warren, who faces one of his favorite opponents -- he rushed for 115 and 101 yards against Broncos last season. Denver, however, looked downright scary in battering Jets last week. Broncos QB John Elway seems have hit stride early, which is bad news for Seattle.

By the numbers: Seattle's Brian Blades (498) and Denver's Anthony Miller (494) are closing in on 500 career catches. . . . Under Mike Shanahan, Denver is 0-5 against Seattle.
